I have a very large collection of books spanning many topics.  A massive gathering of Philip K Dick titles and editions, as well as fine press, signed limited editions, modern firsts, radical movement and conceptual art items.  I encourage you to browse my store and categories for a wide range of unique, quality offerings.


About: Piet Mondrian was one of the pioneers of 20th Century Abstract Art.  This here is a small collection of his essays on art which are in English.  This book was originally published right about hte same time as the memorial exhibition of his work held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1945.


Essays:

Condition: SEE IMAGES.  This is going AS IS.  This is a solid acceptable READING COPY.  Covers are stained and toned, with some wear, chipping, tearing to the spine label.  Internally, some staining, but not excessive.  SEE IMAGES.  Binding is starting to pull at the title page, but NOTHING loose or coming apart.  Suitable to still flip through, read and enjoy the art.  Light yellowing to page edges/margins, but the text and photos are fine.  NO markings.  The book is now preserved in an acid-free archival bag.

 

I will happily answer any further questions.


Making offers: I certainly can appreciate wanting a better deal, and I've made offers myself on my own purchases.  To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers.  Best not to waste our time.  With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer.  If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings.  I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases. 


I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success.
